Hamilton has struggled to repeat the same success that he has done previously on the track so far this season as he currently sits in sixth position in the Driver’s Championship on 146 points, 112 behind leader and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. 

His team, Mercedes, are currently third in the Constructors Championship behind Ferrari and first place Red Bull.

So far this season there has been 13 races in 20 weeks before the summer break started following the Hungarian Grand Prix in which Hamilton finished in second place to Verstappen.

Hamilton, who could be starting to consider retirement, has recently admitted that he will stay interested in the sport and that he does not want to be a retired driver that will dig out racers.

He told Viaplay: ‘I’ll always be tapped into this sport, I’ll always be watching.

‘I’ll always want to be someone that’s being positive to whichever drivers that are here, good or bad, because you know how difficult it is to start, and how it can suck and how days can be good and how people can be negative about you.

‘I don’t ever want to be one of those drivers that does that, because we’ve experienced that.’
